NORTH KOREA AND HYDROGEN BOMBS

NORTH KOREA AND

 HYDROGEN BOMBS

The Nuclear bomb technology is a real danger to the world. It is very shameful that North Korea claims to posses hydrogen bombs. The underground nuclear test by North Korea that apparently used a hydrogen bomb has expectedly aggravated tensions in East Asia. The explosion an “unpardonable provocation”, has already cancelled cross-border initiatives. Japan has termed it a “serious threat” to its national security. Most major global powers, from the United States to Russia and even China, have condemned the explosion. The provocation is likely to invite more economic punitive measures by the United Nations Security Council. The North Korean economy is going through a tough phase, and any further sanctions would jeopardise it further. Why Kim Jong-un took the extreme step now is anybody’s guess, though the move itself was not surprising given the regime’s sinister, paranoid ways of operating. Ever since Mr. Kim became North Korea’s leader after his father’s death in 2011, he has flexed the country’s military muscle and caused provocations without hinting at any tangible foreign policy goal. He ordered the country’s third nuclear test, which led directly to additional UN sanctions. Tensions escalated between the two Koreas last year after they exchanged artillery fire. With the latest hydrogen bomb explosion claim, he has upped the ante in this game of provocations. At last their hydrogen bombs used to self destruction. Really the nuclear technology fall in to the wrong hands in North Korea. We all are living in a world of technology. Our future far more threatening than the incidents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We worry about North Korea’s developing nuclear weapons? The U.N must take strong action against North Korea’s explosion
